How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 47 = 1.297872
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.297872 × 100 = 129.7872%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 129.7872% of 47 is 1.297872 × 47 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/47 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 47 = 129.7872%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/47*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
